Miscellaneous

I don’t think I’ve gotten the hang of this lawyer thing yet. I’m not billing nearly enough while I’m on vacation. Only 3.7 hours yesterday. I could do much better.

Of course, that doesn’t include the time it took me yesterday to finish reading the latest Iowa Supreme Court cases (released Friday). They were pretty interesting for the most part. The case dealing with living restrictions for sex offenders left some room for future challenges on other grounds. The other criminal case allowed the introduction of evidence even though the deputies failed to follow the correct procedures under Missouri’s fresh pursuit law before bringing the defendant back to Iowa (I can’t say I disagree with the reasoning). The estate case had it all: a family torn apart by money, land, sawmill equipment and machinery, a discussion of what happens to the assets of a corporation after its articles of incorporation expire…riveting.

Anyway, I apologize for the late posting of the court schedules for today. I’ll try to do better, but, I’m in Florida, so maybe I’ll just go outside in my shorts, instead.
